A day after DMK leader Shivaji Krishnamoorthy sparked a controversy over abusive statements against Tamil Nadu Governor R N Ravi, the party suspended him on Saturday, news agency ANI reported.
On Friday, Krishnamoorthy had said, “If the Governor refuses to utter the name of Ambedkar in his Assembly speech, don’t I have the right to assault him? If you (governor) don’t read out the speech given by the Tamil Nadu government, then go to Kashmir, and we’ll send terrorists so that they’ll gun you down”.
In a video that has since gone viral on social media, Krishnamoorthy was seen using Tamil cuss words against the Governor while addressing a gathering.
Krishnamoorthy also took a dig at BJP state chief K Annamalai and questioned if the latter was even an Indian citing the watch row. Further in his speech he also abused Leader of Opposition Edapaddi K Palaniswami and claimed that “a man is truly masculine only when he has a son”.
“Our former CM M Karunanidhi, current M K Stalin, and Udhayanidhi Stalin, they are all men because they brought sons into this world,” he said.
The leader’s comments come amid an on-going tussle between the MK Stalin-led Tamil Nadu government and Governor R N Ravi. The already existing conflict between the two escalated further when Ravi made changes to the speech he read out in the Assembly during the first day of the ongoing session.
